I’m not sure what to say besides “Bayesian thinking” here. This doesn’t necessarily mean plugging in numbers (although that can help), but develop habits like not neglecting priors or base rates, considering how consistent the supposed evidence is with the converse of the hypotheses and so forth. I think normal, non-rationalist people reason in a Bayesian way at least some of the time. People mostly don’t object to good epistemology, they just use a lot of bad epistemology too. Normal people understand words like “likely” or “uncertain”. These are not alien concepts, just underutilized.
